Why are balls called balls Dad?

« on: January 17, 2008, 02:06:13 AM »

Standing in the bathroom (fully clothed) I am having a conversation with my 10 year old daughter. We are discussing important things like H20 and sleepover club whilst she is having a shower.

Anyway, she says, Dad, Why are balls called balls? Me: What do you mean? Her: Come on Dad, you know what i mean? Why are balls called balls? Me: Err because they are round, unless they are rugby balls? Huh?

No Dad, stop being stupid, you know what i mean! Me: Do I? Yes dad, you do, the balls in your pants, why are the called balls? Er, i'm not sure darling, how do you know they are called balls? Well dad we are learning about puperty at school. Puperty? Yes Puperty. Me: U make puppets? No dad, puperty, where your body changes from a child to an adut. Ahh Puberty!!!!. Got it. What and the teacher told you they were balls? No the nurse said they were Testacles but xxxxxx in my class said they were balls. Me: (under my breath) ffs!!!! Must be because they are round then. Her. Are your's round then? Er i think so darling, havent checked them recently. Her: Well you should check them regulary for lumps, in case you get cancer. Me: Right ok. U ready to get out the shower? Her: Nearly. Do you know i'm going to have a period? Me: What now? No dad, between now and 17. Me: Really? Her: yes, all girls get them. Didnt you learn this at school?. Me: Cant remember it was a long time ago. Well mummy (my ex-wife) and Kirsty (partner) gets them, you should know from them. Me: Sounds vaguely familiar i think, u ready to get out the shower now? Her: Yeah, pass my towel please, she then goes on to explain about tampax and how to use them etc. Breasts and how her body is going to change.

It seems like only yesterday she was my baby, now she is giving me an effing biology lesson!! Shocked

Reminded me of this classic moment.........
Four years ago having just dropped Adam off at Karate my daughter Rachel, aged 5 at this time, pipes up from the back of the car whilst stopped at the traffic lights

"Dad, what does yids mean?"

Oh my word she is only 5 and do I really want to go into the various names and name calling that happen in our blessed society.

I reply "What does what mean, sorry?"

"Daddy! you heard me! Yids,yids what does it mean!!!!!!" she has the patience of her mother bless.

"Where did you hear it Rachel?" thinking we had better try and get this into context

Rachel shouting now "Look the sign next to us says "School 500 yds!!!!!"
